Look! Household Mishaps

Household mishaps, those follies of poor decisions that nobody every sees...except when someone records it. Though we haven't had our face stuck onto a plunger or our behinds stuck in a trash bin (oh to be young and slim!), we've certainly found ourselves on the receiving end of an errant squirt into the eye from the faucet as we tried to fix it (just last night) or shoddily constructed furniture collapse while on it. Thank goodness nobody was there to record it. Feel free to share your own household mishap memories if you so dare.

I went to fill some nail holes and grabbed a tube of squeeze spackle. The tube opening was blocked from previous use, so turned it toward me to see if I could discern any movement of the hardened spackle plug as I squeezed. Cut to 2 seconds later with nearly the entire contents of the tube dripping off my face onto my clothes and the floor. Thank heaven it wasn't caustic as I good bit of it went straight into my eye. Dumb.

I'm guessing those animals didn't get themselves into those situations, and were terrified. Not to ruin the fun, but ... just sayin'.

My next-door neighbor JUST went through the toilet-seat-on-toddler's-head drama last week ... the super came and cut it off (from the back, so the poor little kid wouldn't get freaked out)!
